about

From back cover (This'll make more sense if you look at the Origin Story Comic!):

So long in the little room… So much birdsong… Now I am “free” but the songs are all I hear, think, or feel.

All I know.

Now I stand before you, squeezing this wheezing monster box… fingers flailing on buttons and levers… my mouth opens, words and melodies wail out…

I know nothing else. I can do nothing else. I am

DUCKMANDU !
